Applications in research, criminology, development, industrial quality control and education

For visualizing and analyzing specimen surfaces with an accuracy that, until recently, was nearly unthinkable, the in­novative Leica 3D system for microscopy now makes the process easier, more effective and more precise. This one­of-a-kind system is especially interesting in applications where the representation of spatial depth means having more
information of greater value.

Industry:

• Electronics, medical technology, the machinery, electrical and metal industry (MEM), materials science, analysis of
defects, high-end quality assurance such as bonding, positioning of microcomponents, quantification and visualization
of aging or wear, systematic inspection and topometry of smooth to very rough surfaces.

Research:

• Entomology, geology, biology, archaeology.

Criminology:

• Trace identification, ballistics.

Schools, vocational schools, colleges and universities:

• Biology instruction, demonstration and training in specimen mounting and preparation.

Training in microscopy techniques:

• Intracytoplasmatic sperm injection, in vitro fertilization.

Documentation:

• Recording procedures, processes and repetitive tasks under the stereomicroscope.

Characterizing surfaces:

• Profile, roughness, surface and volume analysis of structured surfaces, such as organic layer
composition in polymer electronics, structures of components.

Inspections from a distance:

• In clean rooms, contaminated or inaccessible rooms, museums.
